Autumn to Winter in Nozawa Onsen
Are we ready for Autumn to Winter in Nozawa Onsen
Are we ready for the transition?
There’s always a magical moment in Nozawa Onsen when the colours of autumn begin to fade and the first real breath of winter rolls down from the peaks. It looks like we may get a short flash of that moment from tomorrow night.
The village has been glowing in reds and golds all week — but from tomorrow evening, we could see a brief seasonal shift. Forecasts are calling for a big 60cm dump up top, with snow expected to fall right down to the village by lunchtime Tuesday. The mountains are about to trade their autumn jacket for a full winter coat. Looking at the longer range, we might even see a little more on Friday night — though I don’t think true winter is quite ready to settle in just yet.
The real question is whether this dump, combined with some snowmaking, will be enough for the resort to open on the 29th. It’s going to be borderline, with sunshine and slightly warmer temps forecast just before opening day. We’ll have to wait and see.
Either way, winter is coming fast. Most locals are secretly hoping for a bit more time — there’s still plenty to prepare.
But ready or not… winter is knocking.
Should we let her in? ❄️  Check out more on Autumn in Nozawa here; https://www.nozawaholidays.com/nozawa-onsen-summer/autumn-travel-nozawa-japan/  Slide for Autumn highlights.  野沢温泉の秋から冬へ
冬の気配、もうすぐ。
紅葉が美しく染まった村も、明日夜から一気に季節が変わりそうです。予報では山頂で約60cmの降雪、火曜の昼頃には村まで雪が降りてくる見込み。秋の色から一気に冬の白へ。
29日のオープンに十分な積雪になるかは微妙ですが、冬は確実に近づいています。まだ準備に追われる人も多いけれど…
冬がノックしています。迎え入れる準備はできていますか? ❄️
Getting to Nozawa Onsen: The Best and Easiest Ways Getting to Nozawa Onsen: The Best and Easiest Ways to Travel and get on these lifts with ease.  Heading to Nozawa Onsen this winter? Here are the easiest and safest ways to get here so you can start enjoying the snow as soon as possible.
🚐 Take the Snow Shuttle 
The most convenient option is the Snow Shuttle from Narita or Haneda Airports. It runs direct from the airport to Nozawa Onsen, no stress, and no dragging your luggage through stations. It’s reliable, comfortable, and gets you right to the village. Book on the Nozawa Holidays site here; https://www.nozawaholidays.com/shuttle-bus/  🚆 Train Travel
The train is another excellent way to reach Nozawa. Take the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Iiyama Station, then hop on the local bus straight to the village. Fast, scenic, and easy—perfect for visitors wanting a smooth trip.  🚗 Avoid Driving If You Can
We don’t recommend driving to Nozawa in winter. Roads can be dangerous with heavy snow, and parking in the village is extremely limited. You truly don’t need a car once you’re here.  🚶 Walk Everywhere in the Village
One of the best things about Nozawa Onsen is its walkability. Everything—restaurants, onsens, lifts, shops, cafés—is a stroll away. A car just becomes a hassle you won’t use.  Whether you take the shuttle or the train, getting to Nozawa is easy. Leave the car behind, relax, and enjoy the ride—your holiday starts the moment you’re on your way.
We look forward to seeing you. More info here; https://www.nozawaholidays.com/getting-to-nozawa-onsen/
Are we in for a big snow season ahead in Nozawa? Are we in for a big snow season ahead in Nozawa?  Who knows :) Always hard to tell this early but things are starting to shape up for an early start again this year. Check out the cams, looking nice and white up top this morning after what looks like about 10cm up top overnight. https://nozawa-onsen.com/nozawa-webcams/  It’s now snowed for the third time up top in Nozawa Onsen — and as the locals say, when it snows three times on the mountain, the next one usually reaches the village!  We’ve got a huge dump forecast for this time next week on Monday and Tuesday, and it’s expected to bring snow right down to village level. Slide to see the forecast.  Fingers crossed this is the start of a great season ahead and that the resort can open on the hopeful schedule of November 29th 
See more about season opening here; https://www.nozawaholidays.com/nozawa-onsen-skiing/nozawa-ski-open-date/  Enjoy the Autumn hikes while you can! ☃️  これから大きなシーズンになりそうですか?
誰にもわかりませんね :) まだ早すぎて予想は難しいですが、今年も早いスタートになりそうな雰囲気です。カメラをチェックしてみてください。今朝は上の方がきれいな雪景色になっていて、昨晩で約10cm積もったようです。
https://nozawa-onsen.com/nozawa-webcams/
野沢温泉の上部で今シーズン3度目の降雪になりました — 地元の人たちが言うには、山の上で3回雪が降ると、次はだいたい里まで雪が降るそうです!
来週の月曜と火曜には大量の降雪が予想されており、里まで雪が降る見込みです。スライドして予報をご覧ください。
このまま素晴らしいシーズンのスタートになり、希望通り11月29日のオープンが実現することを願っています.

🍜 Eating Out in Nozawa Onsen One of the best parts 🍜 Eating Out in Nozawa Onsen
One of the best parts of visiting Nozawa Onsen is the food! The village is packed with cozy restaurants, lively izakayas, and hidden gems serving everything from handmade soba and ramen to creative Japanese–Western dishes. After a day on the slopes, nothing beats wandering the lantern-lit streets and finding the perfect spot for dinner.
👉 Discover the full list of places here: Nozawa Onsen Restaurants & Bars  Booking tips:
🍶 Reserve early — most restaurants are small and fill fast in winter. If there’s a particular place you want to try, it’s best to make a reservation early in the day — or even the night before
🏡 Your lodge may help with bookings but many places prefer you to book face to face, many have online booking options now too. Please do not cancel last minute or you will lose face :) 
🍱 Check opening days — some close midweek or between lunch and dinner.
⏰ Go early if you don’t have a booking — 5:30–6:00 pm is a good bet. Or after 8pm to beat the rush.  Whether you’re after comfort food, local sake, or a cozy corner with friends, Nozawa’s dining scene is as warm and welcoming as its onsens. Which is your favourite place to eat and drink ibuprofen Nozawa.

White, Red, Green and Gold We woke up to a beauti White, Red, Green and Gold 
We woke up to a beautiful surprise yesterday morning — 10cm of fresh snow up at Yamabiko in Nozawa! The mountains were glowing in a stunning mix of green, yellow, red, and white — autumn leaves and winter snow competing for attention. 🍁🌲⛄️
Mt Myoko across the valley was also wearing a white dome, always an exciting sight and a sure sign that winter is close! 
With the new season just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to pre-book your snow services — from ski rentals and lessons to lift passes, monkey tours, and shuttles.

This is already the second snowfall up top in Nozawa this season. The saying in the village goes — “After the third snow on the mountain, it will fall in the village.” Still a little early yet, with no big systems on the radar, so we may have to wait until late November or early December to see snow in town.
Most locals aren’t in a hurry though — they’re still busy harvesting the last crops and getting ready for the winter rush ahead. 
Get ready for another magic season in Nozawa Onsen!
